Day of the Dead is a really interesting holiday for me. I love the BOLD look of black and white skull drawings. They are so graphic, and the primitive look pulls me in. I enjoy sitting and working on line work every so often-actually I really enjoy it but don't take the time for pieces. So, I've made myself slow down, and I've been working on this series of skull for my family. It doesn't show, but the pieces are drawn on dictionary pages and skimmed with gesso and tea, and walnut ink.Way FUN!

Buffalo Press

I attended as a participant a two day workshop at Buffalo Press. What fun! I completed one three color print-Winter Solstice. The center is a snowflake and the oak leaf and acorns are winter solstice symbols. I'll frame the eight prints I pulled for Christmas gifts.

Ongoing 'Eggshell' artpieces. I like the look they are moving towards. I want two outcomes:
•A piece to get 'lost' in; eggshell metaphor
•A JOYOUS SPIRIT is how Ben was described by his parents. I'd like the essence of the pieces to be of a joyous spirit.

The artwork continues. I add a layer or two each day. When I get up in the mornings, I really wish I could work on piece for a few hours. Alas, work calls me-but only for 99 days more, then a change.

First journeys-so many of them in our lives.

Even as we age, we never run out of first journeys, and,
aren't the 'former' first journeys beautiful to revisit?

Second week of a dastardly head cold--but I can say I am on the recovery road! YAY! Nyquil, sudafead, steroids....oh yeah. OTC's do help!

It's been a couple of tough weeks:
Two deaths -one especially difficult. Our close friend's 25 year old son passed away. Our hearts are broken for them.

I'm making them an 'eggshell' piece of art. I'm not sure why, but I knew right away that is what I wanted to do. Eggshells have a strong metaphor: pieces of life, birth, 'walking on eggshells', fragility, shattered--many metaphors that I hope our friends can ponder, and possibly heal some from them.
